Abstract
In this article, the writer firstly outlines the major factors that led to increased political participation in Europe. Secondly, the writer then focuses on the prospects for liberal democracy in Europe; to what extent it is under threat and what challenges it will have to overcome. The writer maintains that it is clear to see how industrialisation and the spread of reformist and radical ideas led to increased political participation in Europe over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, although the status quo appears generally stable, modern democrats must be vigilant against the forces that would seek to attack the liberal foundation upon which modern Europe rests. The writer concludes that it is general political apathy on the part of many in Europe combined with the continuing rise of extremism that will pose the greatest threat in the future.
From the Paper
"In addition to the above, the urban working class of Europe developed a political consciousness in the early and mid nineteenth century that translated into a firm desire to gain a voice in the political process. Although industrialisation and the prospect of higher wages had brought many workers from the countryside into the towns, the conditions they were subject to were hideous. Workers were forced to work very long hours for little financial reward. Furthermore, living conditions were invariably worse that those of the countryside as the mass migration of thousands into the cities precipitated widespread disease and cramped squalled housing. Adding to this situation was a sense of utter powerlessness. The working masses had no form of political representation to turn in order to redress their grievances; even the early trade union movement was suppressed across many parts of the continent. Given this situation, it is unsurprising that both the urban and rural working classes constantly agitated for political participation in their respective countries; often led by members of the lower middle class."

Europe and the Civil War, 2004.
An analysis of the effect that the American Civil War had on Europe.

Abstract
This paper examines how the major countries such as England and France were affected by and involved in the American Civil War. It discusses how the issue of slavery helped draw the French and English into the conflict. It further discusses the economic ramifications of the war on both Europe and America because of the halting of slave trade and goods trade.
From the Paper
"The American Civil War directly affected foreign relations with England and France because neither country could choose between the Union or the Confederacy since they needed both and neither would risk supporting slavery or democracy. Europe during the 1860?s was still drowning with monarchies and aristocracy. They feared and rejected rebellion and internal revolutions but their desire to witness the failure of democracy was much greater than any other. Early in to the war it was apparent that though resistance to new political ideas and ?legitimate monarchy? were the trends in Europe, their sympathy for the aristocratic Confederacy overlooked all else except a minor issue."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Eastern and Western Europe have always been different from each other, both politically and socially. Clear distinctions have always been drawn between the two areas. It shows how from their ancient beginnings, shrouded in the mists of history to modern times, Eastern and Western Europe have followed different paths in their development. Even today, the political and social climate in these two areas is distinctly different, and it is obvious to a traveler that they are in one or the other without being told. This paper explores the divergent developments of Eastern and Western Europe and looks for the various factors that contributed to the different paths each region has taken.
From the Paper
"Eastern Europe is a region that traditionally encompasses all of the land from the Balkans to Czechoslovakia to Poland. Eastern Europe today is just beginning to recover from decades under Communist rule, and capitalism is beginning to re-emerge. There is a highly concentrated number of working class people in Easter Europe, one of the highest concentrations of any area in the world. However, despite this high concentration of working people, there is still a large amount of collectivized state property, a remnant of communism. Any strike or disruption in the workforce in Eastern Europe is automatically a political situation, because the employer is the state. There is also a high degree of pollution in Eastern Europe, caused by the rapid push toward industrialization forced on it by the communists. This pollution has lead to environmental degradation and a high number of people operating at less than optimal health in the region. Eastern Europe today is struggling; it is not thriving, but it has not yet bowed down its head in defeat."

"The Origins of the Second World War in Europe", 2002.
An examination of P.M.H. Bell's "The Origins of the Second World War in Europe" on the personal choices of Adolf Hitler.

Abstract
This essay will argue that Bell's thesis is that personal choices and not the determinism of historical forces led to the Second World War. In particular, as will be seen, Bell focuses on the personal choices made by one: Adolf Hitler. He contends that German policies of aggression and expansion that ultimately caused the war were shaped more by the personality of one man than by any broader mix of social forces or national interests.

Budgetary Politics: America's War on Drugs, 2004.

Abstract
This paper argues that the government of the United States has had a free run in many public policy matters, including the war on drugs. While the crusade was, by and large, assumed to be legitimate and adherent to public policy and national security measures. it has a very devious and conniving agenda known only to a select few. The paper argues that what is said to be a war fought on the lines of national safety measures and upholding of public policy is, in truth, an agenda to fill the coffers of influential people, including politicians, congressmen, and businessmen.
From the Paper
"While the administration calls for increased and renewed funding of its efforts on the war on drugs, a look at some truly startling figures proves beyond doubt the ulterior motive of the people who run the government. A study has indicated that virtually every part of the federal government has benefited extensively due to the increased funding under the banner ?War on Drugs.? It seems that the annual average budget allocation of $20 billion goes a long way and has extensive aims other than mere fighting off drug trafficking, proliferation and usage."

World Politics Since the Cold War, 2002.

Abstract
Firstly, the paper looks at the idea of "unipolarism" -the development of one super-power in the world. Secondly, it explores the consequences when a powerful country takes on territorial commitments it cannot maintain. And thirdly, it touches on the concept of "bizonalism" - the theory that the world can be divided into 2 zones: one of power, peace and prosperity; and one of of dysfunction and turmoil.
From the Paper
"The world since the cold war has had its share of times of peace and times of war. Many major conflicts and wars have taken place. The cold war ended in 1989, during the Bush administration. During this time of rivalry between the United States and Russia, the politics in the world was leading in a downward spiral. With two super powers at each other's throughts the world was in a time of war and turmoil. Today the politics in the world has changed greatly. There is a clear cut organization of politics and a certain hierarchy in the world. The terrors of the cold war days have given us three major views of politics, which are recognized throughout the world. The three major ideas of today are those of unipolarism, an idea that if a great power exceeds its reach in the world it will lead to its demise and an idea of bizonalizm."

A look at the Democratic and Republican parties after the American Civil War and during Reconstruction.

Abstract
The impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction era upon the Democratic Party was one that seemed would never be forgotten as the politics of this party suffered an adverse effect due to the decisions made in view of the Civil War and the side which this party choose to support. This paper explains that the Democratic Convention suffered a party split in 1860 due to differences on territorial rights of new states and the choice, or lack of choice, concerning the issues of slavery. It also discusses how the panic of 1893 resulted in a split of the Democratic Party and the newly formed image of each party. This paper demonstrates the political shifts, as well as national shifts from industrialism in the 1880s to reform at the beginning of the 20th century, and finally, on the threshold of the era of the World Wars as the election of 1912 took place.
From the Paper
"Politics were in a stage of ?hyper? activity during the last couple of decades of the 1800?s and the first decade of the 1900?s. The Republican and Democratic parties split only to reframe and then split again only to re-emerge. President Ulysses Grant a Republic, won the Presidential Election of 1868 however his projection of harsh policies toward the Reconstruction South was viewed as a ?radical? rule due to ?corruption and misrule in the South? resulted in a party split and forming of the Liberal Republican Party. The Liberals, as did the Radicals, supported emancipation, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, as well as preservation of the Union."

Europe: After World War II, 2002.
A look at the European economy after WWII in light of the influence of the Marshall Plan.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by looking at European economic status after World War II. The United States plan of economic and military aid to Europe (The Marshall Plan) is discussed. The economy is examined 10 years later and again today, as the writer presents his position of how things might have been if not for the economic aid it received.
From the Paper
"Europe?s economy was seriously disrupted during World War II. Apart from the direct and widespread destruction of brick and mortar, the sustained war effort (during which almost every sector of the economy was focused on the war) had created basic distortions in its economy. The United States quickly realized the importance of helping Europe to recover from the war. This was considered essential to counter the growing influence of the Communist Soviet Union and the effect of an economically weak Europe on USA?s own economy. The United States government led by President Truman thus implemented a major plan of economic and military aid to Europe that is known as the Marshall Plan (named after the then Secretary of State, George C. Marshall) and a policy of containing communism that came to be known as the Truman Doctrine. In this paper we will try to visualize what Europe would have looked like (a) ten years after the end of World War II and (b) today, if these programs had not gone into effect."

Political Humor in Politics, 2002.
The paper looks at the role played by political humor in providing both political information and comic relief.
936 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the different forms of political humor available and the range of media now available, from newspaper cartoons to digital clips sent by e-mail. The paper examines how political humor has become an increasingly influential force in the American political scene, with high profile politicians, such as the President, often becoming the main target of jokes. The paper portrays such humor as a useful tool in keeping citizens lighthearted in tense situations.
From the Paper
"In the United States, political humor has become a very popular entertaining form of entertainment, and is used as a way to make light of political situations and poke fun at the politicians that have been elected and are in the national spotlight. Political humor has been in newspapers and other forms of mass media since the elections of some of the first politicians. However, unlike the comedians of the French Revolution Era, political humorists today will not be beheaded for making jokes about the president."

The Korean War and the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, 2005.
This paper discusses the forgotten war, the Korean War, and describes the Korean War Veterans' Memorial.
1,050 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although statistically the Korean War took more lives than the Vietnam War, the Korean War has been branded as America's "Forgotten War" because it was over-shined by two "greater" wars, the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which dragged on for more than a decade. The author points out that the Korean War is important because it (1) started the end of the communist expansion in the world, (2) laid the ground for the entry of democracy in the states in Eastern Europe and Russia and (3) began the American foreign policy of military intervention to gain or maintain security, freedom and democracy in the world resulting in a number of military conflicts which continues today. The paper describes in detail the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated in 1995 by Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, then presidents of the U.S. and South Korea.
From the Paper
"The symbolisms in the memorial are brilliant pictures of a war that will never be forgotten. For as long as the memorial continues to exist, the memories of a war, which advanced freedom at the cost of the lives of millions of people, will eternally be thought of and etched in the minds of guests. Moreover, this memorial also serves as a reminder that freedom, though sweet and liberating, must never be taken for granted and must certainly be forever guarded, secured and remain dear in our hearts. It must also be remembered that there are still countries in the world that do not enjoy the rights given by a true democracy. The pursuit for the expansion of democracy must certainly not be abandoned. Still, millions of people are yearning for a free, equal state where social, economic and political justice stands and endures."
